Re: I QUIT SMOKING , YOU CAN TOO. I QUIT SEPT 27, 2012, SUPPORT EACH OTHER HERE

I've been VAPING with my new Smoke Stik for a week.

I used to smoke 1-2 packs a day, but now I'm only smoking 7-10 "real" cigarettes a day - only because I have to order more E-cigs. One isn't enough... got to recharge battery and refill cartomizer. LOL

Once I get some more, I'm sure I can give real cigs up for good !!! Don't know about the nicotine, though. I guess I could cut the strength down gradually and then just "vape" the great variety of e-flavors ????

I also quit just a couple weeks ago .. been a smoker almost 20 yrs a pack a day ...I took chantix for about a week, that helped but now i cant even stand the smell of it .. my hubby tried to quit same time i did and he held out about a week. I found a website that had so many horror stories about smoking on it I basically scared myself into quitting lol. I want to be alive to see my grandchildren. The websites motto is "Never take another puff" and I won't. I can breathe so much better now and no caughing anymore. Stick with it .. it takes 72 hrs for the nicotine to get out of the system after that the cravings are in your head. Good luck to you ! :)

Well done op, I gave up at the beginning of the year using patches. Here's a tip, try buying something weekly (treat) with the money you save, it helped me. I started buying an ounce or so of Silver a week with mine, at the end of the year what would have been 150 or so empty cigarette packs will now be a table full of Silver coins :) Keep it up, the cravings should nearly be gone soon.

WELL DONE!

p.s. i do miss the trippy dreams i was getting from the patches though.

Silver, good idea. I was spending more than an once of silver each week.

Quoting: Desert Fox

Therefor you'll be able to stack more lol. (I was smoking about 50 bucks(NZ) a weeks worth). I was wanting to get into Silver for a while but felt i could'nt afford it until i gave up smoking. I get the buzz of shopping for it and spending the money, where in effect i'm really exchanging it for something thats going to be worth much more in the future. WIN WIN :)

Quoting: Northern-Lights

Thats so cool, I have been wanting to buy silver too. Where are you buying and coins or bars?

I buy from Trade Me, E bay, and most bullion dealers here in NZ (wherever i can find the best price lol). Not too sure in the U.S but Apmex and Northwest Territorial Mint spring to mind. Just remember to buy from reputable dealers to start with. Good luck :) there's heaps of Silver info on you tube too.

Re: I QUIT SMOKING , YOU CAN TOO. I QUIT SEPT 27, 2012, SUPPORT EACH OTHER HERE

Sorry i missed the last bit. I buy 1 ounce coins usually Canadian Maple Leafs and U.S Silver Eagles. There's heaps out there, some command a higher premium than others but i just go for the cheapest as long as it says 1 oz .999 pure Silver, to me an oz of Silver is an oz of Silver, does'nt really matter to me what design is stamped on it :)

You should start eating foods which rebuild your lungs. The red and yellow colored bell peppers are supposed to be good for that. Good luck and if you relapse don't feel bad, just quit again the next day. One thing I've noticed is that the additive-free tobacco isn't nearly as addictive as the regular kind.

Nope, I can't relapse, i have done that in the past and the next time is harder, much harder. I had to resort to the Chantix, I could not do it myself this time. One cigarette and I am hooked. Didn't know bout the pepper thing, thanks.

Congratulations! remember to take lots of vitamins and juice from health stores -- these are the things that will help you recover the quickest. You will probably feel fluish for a bit. if you want, you can take up hobbies that use your hands -- knitting or whittling...even sketching or doodling. Those help keep your hands busy! You are over the very worst, and it only gets better.

You're welcome. I used to do worse than cigs and have found diet to be very helpful in cutting addictions.I suspect that many addicts are simply auto-medicating for nutritional deficiencies(but not limited to) Nicotine is harder to kick than cocaine, heroin and meth in my opinion and I've read a few things to support that.

Hot peppers will help you expectorate all the crud out of your lungs. Habaneros or suchlike. There's plenty of resources online about all that. Basically eating well replaces the addiction. Substitution cures a myriad of ills.

Smoking is IMO harder to quit than a lot of other drugs. I knew someone in rehab for drugs, and all that person begged for was a cigarette. No joke. The eating thing is all I want to do, I have put on 5 lbs since quitting. I have to get into some walking and exercise. I am not over weight even now, but I don't want to be.
